Responsibilities • This particular role is within our Yubi Invest vertical, and you would get to work on building our bonds platform, called Aspero, for retail users. • Be able to operate in ambiguous situations and define clear objectives by breaking down the narratives independently. • Work closely with business, research, data and engineering teams to understand the user goals, market dynamics and ship products. • Aligning product strategy, proposition and roadmap with measurable metrics with all stakeholders. • Drive PRDs, product planning, and product design of new features and enhancements. • Clearly communicate product and platform benefits to our users and internal stakeholders About the Role- We’re looking for a highly skilled, results-driven AI engineer who thrives in fast-paced, high-impact environments. If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of Computer Vision, OCR, and Large Language Models (LLMs) and have a strong foundation in building and deploying AI solutions, this role is for you. As a Senior Data Scientist, you will take ownership of designing and implementing state-of-the-art OCR and Computer Vision systems. This role demands deep technical expertise, the ability to work autonomously, and a mindset that embraces complex challenges head-on. Here, you won’t just fine-tune pre-trained models—you’ll be architecting, optimizing, and scaling AI solutions that power real-world applications. Key Responsibilities- Architect, develop, and deploy high-performance Computer Vision and OCR models for real-world applications. Implement and optimize state-of-the-art OCR models such as Donut, TrOCR, LayoutLM, and DocFormer for document processing and information extraction. Fine-tune and integrate LLMs (GPT, LLaMA, Mistral, etc.) to enhance text understanding and automation. Develop custom deep learning models for large-scale image and document processing. Build and optimize end-to-end AI pipelines, ensuring efficient data processing and model deployment. Work closely with engineers to operationalize AI models in production (Docker, FastAPI, TensorRT, ONNX). Enhance GPU performance and model inference efficiency, applying techniques such as quantization and pruning. Stay ahead of industry advancements, continuously experimenting with new AI architectures and training techniques. Work in a highly dynamic, startup-like environment, balancing rapid experimentation with production-grade robustness. Requirements 5-10 years experience p roven technical expertise – Strong programming skills in Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow with deep experience in Computer Vision and OCR. Hands-on experience in developing, training, and deploying OCR and document AI models. Deep understanding of Transformer-based architectures for vision and text processing. Experience working with Hugging Face, OpenCV, TensorRT, and NVIDIA GPUs for model acceleration. Autonomous problem solver – You take initiative, work independently, and drive projects from research to production. Strong experience in scaling AI solutions, including model optimization and deployment on cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure). Thrives in fast-paced environments – You embrace challenges, pivot quickly, and execute effectively. Familiarity with MLOps tools (Docker, FastAPI, Kubernetes) for seamless model deployment. Experience in multi-modal models (Vision + Text). Nice to Have- Strong background in vector databases, RAG pipelines, and fine-tuning LLMs for document intelligence. Contributions to open-source AI projects.
